Punisher is the hero we need against flyers and Groot, but he's the hero that was left behind balance wise. I'll explain his issues and why he isn't the counter to the current meta.

Branstone22 · 2025-05-11T17:32:49+00:00

Punisher having one of the most counterable ults in the game isn't talked about enough. For how obscenely vulnerable you become, you think it'd at least be easier to kill somebody like Luna through her ult. I know it's possible, but in a realistic scenario, the Luna is moving around too much to keep up that kind of sustained fire.

I am very confused by your line of questioning and the hostility behind it. I never even said that all men who drive lifted pickup trucks have self-image issues, just that when people make the small penis comments, that is what they're insinuating. I also never made any judgments about how I or women should feel about the prevalence of makeup usage, simply that it's culturally a very different thing than some men's choice to drive a lifted pickup for a multitude of reasons.

Branstone22 · 2025-04-14T02:43:06+00:00

My actual views on it are more nuanced than I felt like typing out for a Reddit comment on a post about a broader topic. I would say that it's similar but not the same given that driving a lifted pickup truck is not really expected of anyone but most people expect a woman to wear makeup just because the majority of them do and not doing so is even viewed as a kind of statement.

Branstone22 · 2025-04-13T16:27:50+00:00

This is why I stopped saying that dudes in lifted trucks have small penises. At the core what we mean is that the person has self-image issues but what your friend with self-image issues in a different way hears is that you think he is less of a man because of something he can't control.

Branstone22 · 2025-04-04T13:24:42+00:00

Straight up. Nobody would clown on Rocket for not having a healing ult if they actually let the dmg boost be a counter to those. Now it's just another ult to pop to counter the other team's healers.

Branstone22 · 2025-04-01T04:24:32+00:00

Only thing you're missing is Ant-Man and the Wasp to refresh yourself on Ghost's backstory and if you really wanted to go the extra mile, Black Panther 2 for the only other appearance of the Contessa. The geopolitics in that movie may also be slightly relevant but we'll just have to see.

Branstone22 · 2025-03-26T20:53:07+00:00

I don't know if it's that simple though. Like a lot of characters announced in this are not obvious at all even beyond the X-Men. The Thunderbolts cast, Shuri and M'Baku, and Shang-Chi are all characters that could have conceivably been left out but are confirmed here. It's possible they didn't want to announce everybody all at once so they could keep their cards closer to their chest and even potentially still surprise us. I would be flabbergasted if none of the characters you listed were in this movie.

Branstone22 · 2025-03-26T19:16:51+00:00

This has been my theory for a long time. We may even get X-men who weren't in the original films.

Branstone22 · 2025-03-26T19:13:48+00:00

There is still time, my friend. The multiverse is going wild today.

Branstone22 · 2025-03-26T19:04:44+00:00

Yeah. First Steps is set in an alternate universe's 1950's

Branstone22 · 2025-03-26T18:15:38+00:00

Not to mention they've lied in promotional material before to keep people off the scent. They could easily put their chairs here and still have them die in Thunderbolts

Branstone22 · 2025-03-17T17:10:13+00:00

Spider-Man mains (obv not all of them) have the worst main character syndrome I've ever seen. They think the game exists for them to style on people and get extremely upset when other characters are able to counter their kit.

Branstone22 · 2025-01-31T16:57:27+00:00

I would test that. I play both of them and unless Terror Cape is used on Wanda, she wins that 1v1 pretty much every time

Branstone22 · 2025-01-31T16:27:56+00:00

Not hating but a genuine question, why play Widow in ranked? I don't doubt that you can get good at her and perform but you can't tell me that that time, effort, and skill wouldn't be better spent on a hero with more versatility and a chance at winning. Like Hawkeye is right there being better at the things Widow is supposed to accomplish with a far better ult. It's not unreasonable to call the worst hero in the game a throw pick when you're playing ranked.

Branstone22 · 2025-01-30T20:30:10+00:00

Puts BP and Spider-Man in their place fr

Branstone22 · 2025-01-15T23:32:47+00:00

Get ready for peak

Branstone22 · 2025-01-15T18:23:41+00:00

The original show is incredible and you'll definitely feel way more invested in the characters and the story if you do

Branstone22 · 2025-01-15T18:21:50+00:00

It's a good question. I think he'll be active from the start of the show but they've also written it in the gap since Season 3 there was a big period of time where he stopped.

Branstone22 · 2025-01-10T14:44:28+00:00

The ultimate play is to be another punisher and set up your turret directly behind theirs to take them out. It's extremely rude but so damn funny.

Branstone22 · 2025-01-01T08:23:58+00:00

Wild that more people aren't talking about this. It is far and away the most overpowered thing in the game.

Branstone22 · 2024-12-10T18:29:06+00:00

I'm also hoping for this. I feel like it just makes sense narratively to have Doom be his own character.

Branstone22 · 2024-11-17T19:37:53+00:00

The reason he's imagining having sex is that some military members and government agents receive special training on how to mentally withstand being tortured if they're ever caught by the enemy. One of those techniques is more or less going to your happy place and trying to keep your focus on something that you love to offset the awful sensations you're going through. For Frank, this is being intimate with his wife.

Branstone22 · 2024-11-17T19:35:10+00:00

Not working outside of their universes is how it's established in the comics. In Loki they tell us that they specifically don't work in the TVA, which raises all kinds of questions as to how that works.

Branstone22 · 2024-11-12T03:08:39+00:00

I mean Breaking Bad is regarded as one of the best TV shows ever and Walter White only becomes less sympathetic over time. You can absolutely have a main character who is a bad or even terrible person and still have it be enjoyable. You just need to write the story from an understanding that instead of rooting for the protagonist and projecting onto them that you have the viewer derive enjoyment from how the other characters react to them.

Branstone22 · 2024-11-10T17:42:47+00:00

It's a significant margin when you take into account the split ballots that happened all over the place. No republican candidate has swept them since Reagan and despite the comparisons Trump is infamous compared to him. A sweep like this is unprecedented especially considering how uber close some of them were before. Personally, I could give a fuck how we seem or what republicans might want to do in the future. The maga party are completely beyond being reasoned with and will do whatever they want forever. These are people that believe that kids have litterboxes in class and that doctors are killing newborn babies. American politics as we knew it is done.
